Adam Scholey

Software Engineer

Poole, UK

👋 Hello

I'm a highly self-motivated Software Engineer with a recent focus on Backend microservices and event-driven architecture.

Throughout my career I've enjoyed building Webby Award-winning apps at scale, leading development teams and mentoring other engineers.

Some of the tech I've loved working with so far includes:

Go React MongoDB GCP Docker TypeScript MySQL Node Vue CircleCI Redis Python Kubernetes CockroachDB AWS

...although I'm always looking for something new to try!

I currently specialise in helping companies drive their adoption of Go, whether greenfield or migrating from an existing tech stack such as Java or PHP.

📢 Keynote: AI is coming for your job

At GopherCon UK, I delivered a Keynote where I explored the impact of AI on the tech industry, addressing both its potential and the challenges it poses for software engineers in a rapidly evolving landscape.

💚 Community

As part of Dorset Coding Day, I visited Heatherlands Primary School to talk about my career in Digital with Years 5 & 6.

Here's a short video I recorded for any schools without an in-person volunteer so they could join in too.

I had the privilege of working alongside Adam at 3 Sided Cube, where he served as my team lead. Adam is an exceptional developer who excels not only in technical expertise but also in interpersonal skills.

Moreover, I owe a significant portion of my growth as a developer to Adam. He took the time to mentor and guide me, helping me develop early in my career.
